Faster than Light

I froze though, and his friend reached out to touch me, and I looked down at his hand on my arm even as red light flared. I felt my body change, even as I felt bodies falling like rain as negotiations fell apart.

"Run, Taylor," he said. "Save yourself, and save the world."

My body felt supercharged, suddenly; not my entire body, but just one power.

All the second man had done was to increase my speed power, increase it to the point that physics would start bending as I moved past the point of possibility and into impossibility. For just this moment I was the fastest girl alive, and I could feel red lighting surrounding me.

So I ran.

The world slowed around me, not like it had before, but to an extend that I couldn't have imagined. I ran around the world, and with my powers I could see into the distance. Scion was exploding with power, but even the light of his stilling ability was moving as slowly as molasses. I shouldn't have even been able to see anything if I was moving faster than light, and it only occurred to me after a subjective moment that I wasn't seeing with light at all. I was seeing with speed, and my mind was only interpreting it as visual images.
